the riedell boost skates come close to 117 style riedell skatesthese skates are state of the art and as a advanced skater i truly believe theses should be the choice of many intermediate to advance skaters accompanied by the sure grip all american wheels

This shoe has padding, thus its super comfortable! I'm just getting back into the skating arena and this is actually the first pair of skates I have ever bought. I love them! The wheels turn smoothly, the skates are not heavy, and I have been skating at least 3 times a week since I bought them. Other note this company really sends your skates in a week! I actually got mine in 6 days and that's including the weekend! I LOVE THEM
